I bought a clothesline tree, but it doesn't have the stake to put it in the ground and I haven't gotten around to looking for one yet. Meanwhile, I hand the laundry over the field fence by the backyard. Works just fine.

We have an unfinished room above our garage that's right next to our "laundry closet". Until the room is finished we're using it as a clothes drying room - we've strung up several lines and hang our clothes in it. I love it so much I'm convincing my hubby to incorporate hooks into the wall so I can keep laundry lines in there after the room is finished.

Amen to the overalls! As a fellow farmgirl, there is NOTHING better to wear (overalls or overall shorts)if you are trying to keep cool.Blessings to you, your hubby, and especially all your critters!Lizhttp://araratacres.blogspot.com/

Add me to the list of those that LOVE hanging out laundry. I think it's relaxing and nothing smells better than line dried sheets! I don't even own a dryer - shh, people look at you funny when you tell them that. LOL!

When we lived in the Sacramento Valley I used to love hanging our laundry out to dry. Here on the foggy, damp coast however, it's a whole different story; leaving clothes out to dry only makes them more damp, just before the mildew sets in. I do love draping my linens over the lavender and rosemary bushes on a rare sunny day. It makes them smell so good when I open the linen drawer.

I'm a fellow winter lover...I am anxiously waiting for that first crisp fall day!! I don't think my LL would appreciate a clothesline but I love the idea. Someday! Until then, I'll live vicariously. ;)

Yes, I also love to hang up, but hate taking down. I hang most of the year but in winter have drying rack and line across my cathedral ceiling and hang inside. I resent if I ever have to use the dryer. We have forced hot air heat and a whole load of sweaters, jeans, and sweatshirts dry overnight if get them up after close the curtains for the neighbors to see and 8pm. It helps the humidity in the house for a short time also.

Well... sometimes.Even though I live in a desert with lots of sun, there is this nasty plague we have here called wind. Not the nice breezy kind that you can sit on the grass and enjoy (besides, that would require grass in the first place). No, this wind is the knock your greenhouse and roof off kind that kicks up the sand and blasts your nice clean clothes with a layer of red grit. So... while it is calm and reasonable I can hang the clothes, otherwise I have to keep them inside and either wait for them to dry in the swamp cooled (read: humid) house or just toss them in the dryer and be lazy. Either one happens depending on how much time I have and how much laundry I need to get done.

December 2015 update: Hi!
